When can I water?

Water Wise Measures are a permanent reminder to adopt smart watering practices.

Water Wise Measures provide guidelines for efficient water use.

Penalties apply for non-compliance with Water Wise Measures.

The times in which you can water depend on where you are watering. Please read the following section for details of watering.

Home gardens and lawns

You can water by hand at any time. This means you can use a hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, a watering can, bucket, or drip-feed irrigation system.

Sprinklers can be used for watering before 10am, or after 5pm.

If your children like to play under the sprinkler, or they have water toys that attach to a hose, they can use it any time on lawn or in a garden. Just make sure it's turned off when the kids are finished playing.

Driveways, paths, verandas and entertaining areas

You can hose down paved areas only if it is to:

protect public health

ensure the safety of people using the area

ensure the health and welfare of animals using the area

deal with fire, accident or other emergencies.

Make sure you use a hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, or a high-pressure, low-volume water cleaner.

Washing vehicles and boats

You can wash vehicles or boats if you use a:

bucket or watering can

high-pressure, low-volume water cleaner

hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle

commercial car wash.

If you can, park your car or boat on a lawn before you wash it. That way you get the most out of your water use.

Pools and spas

Before putting in a pool or spa, make sure you get a swimming pool permit from SA Water. This permit lets you fill the pool or spa.
